My Addictions

About Me

I am a screen printer by trade and have printed on T-shirts / paper
metals and vinyls, I think i have always loved playing with colours and creating.
I started scrapbooking in November 2006
My favourite layouts are heritage/distressed type layouts, I love to capture the mood and fell for all things old but loved. Scrapbooking started out as a way to preserve my families history and grew into something much more.
I now do altered art and mixed media . I love the social side,going to crops
and camps i get to meet and make friends that i would never have meet otherwise,

Hi, welcome to my blog, I just had to join in this month as I have a few very old photos to work with,
which fit this months More Than Words theme. And 7 Dots studios challenge, I love things from yesteryears. This is my Gran at age 16.

I used 7 Dots papers from writers block range, which work so great with my photo

In this layout I have used splashes of yellow to bring this layout to life, And to give it that
little girl feel I used a ballerina stencil with yellow paint mixed with gel medium. I also
cut up a scrapiniec chip board ( which I love) and painted it yellow to add that splash
of colour

Also I have doted some roman numerals around and a small measuring tape to the bottom left corner,
the word "family" inspired me to use this photo of my mother in law when she was a child growing
up in England during the war.

The paper I used was from 7 Dots Dreamer Collection.The colours I chose were Blue, Green and Yellow

This layout is the first one iv done in a very long time, so used some challenges to help inspire me.
I would like to thank the 3 challenge community's below .Also there are some close up at the end of this post.
